Guided Meditation, Saturday, January 11, 11 am
This collection of work brings the viewer into a soft expanse where the universe becomes a kind and gentle extension of ourselves. Surrender to the timeless power of the ocean while being transported to an ephemeral dreaminess through glowing fields of saturated color.
My work is heavily influenced by meditation practices, serving as a guide for internal reflection and harmony with the external world. This body of work brings us into a liminal space between the vastness of our ocean and the timeless power of the sublime. A dreamlike world, connecting nature and the ethereal realm. Between Worlds brings out a world of colors and warm glows to give us a more personal and compassionate version of the universe, one that is in union with us.
I intentionally draw from the Abstract Expressionists in this work to use similar signifiers like Mark Rothko’s framing of color blocks and Barnett Newman’s ‘zip’ lines. Both artists were interested in the transcendent experience as well. - Steven Nederveen
In tandem with the exhibition, we will host a guided meditation session to bring in the New Year. In a time of new resolutions, Nederveen’s tranquil ocean scenes inspired by his own meditation practice provide an opportunity for reflection. We encourage you to set your intention and recenter yourself for 2025 surrounded by these dreamlike worlds. The event is free to attend and open to the public.
Works available to view in gallery in advance of the exhibition.
